thiago S @Thiagostone Jun 16 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Brian F. @FedUpDVDCollector Dec 29 Inspiring origin story of Forest Gump’s mama. I’m sure they were just sticking to the source material but Jef… I mean Beau Bridges’ character could’ve been completely cut. The run in with her children’s father was a laugher too. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Dec 13 A union film that focuses less on industrial action and more on the compelling character development of the leading couple, non couple, should be couple. It’s a great non romance story tinged with a beautiful romance. Really enjoyed this and think it was a deserving best picture nominee. Why don’t we make films like this any more? Watched on DVD.

Martin Ritt directs a modest, 70s/soft-focus, earnest, Stanley Kramerish message movie...Fiercely felt by all the performers involved; and sparked by a terrific performance by Sally Field at the center of it; for which she won the Oscar. Overall this is solid stuff; including even the haunting theme song "It Goes Like it Goes" by Jennifer Warnes, which also won the Oscar. Recommended. 👍 See more Gertrude F @RT21740944 04/23/2024 The defining strength of this film is the fantastic performances by the entire cast but most notably Sally Field who completely transformed into Norma and delivered a intensely impactful performance. Rob Liebman was also perfectly cast. I could feel that the focus of the director was the story, a story that's just brilliantly built and executed. The ending was also amazing, cleverly using the song "it goes like it goes" from the beginning once again. See more Tam R @RT39373680 04/16/2024 Really enjoyed this film. First time seeing it. Was brought to my attention from Julia Louis-Dreyfus' podcast- Wiser Than Me- when she spoke with Sally Field. Inspiring story. See more Read all reviews
